This is a picture from an article called "The Rescuing Hug".
The article details the first week of life of a set of
twins, Kyrie (red dot) and Brielle (blue dot).
Apparently, each were in their respective incubators, and
one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought
against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one
incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of
the two threw an arm over her sister in an endearing
embrace. The smaller baby's heart rate stabilized and her
temperature rose to normal.
They both survived, and are thriving, in fact, the two girls
went home to share a crib, and still snuggle. The twins are
happy kindergartners now. The hospital changed their policy
after they saw the effect of putting the two girls together,
and now they bed multiples together.
Let us not forget to embrace those whom we love and never
underestimate the power of a hug! |
